Dolomite Powder

The mineral dolomite is commonly found in deposits of a sedimentary rock called dolostone. There are two types of materials often called dolomite, a true chemically uniform calcium magnesium carbonate with the chemical formula CaMg(CO3)2, and a dolomite limestone, which is just an irregular mixture of calcium and magnesium carbonates. Dolomite is believed to have formed by replacement of some of the calcium in a calcium carbonate limestone deposit with magnesium. The calcium and magnesium ions in dolomite exist. Dolomite has a calcium layer, then a carbonate layer, then a magnesium layer then a carbonate layer, and so on. Dolomite is harder and denser than the calcite form of calcium carbonate or limestone
